Malolo Island Resort

Malolo Island Resort

Fijian holidays on the Mamanuca Islands all started when Malolo Island Resort first opened in the 1970’s. Now, forty plus years on, Malolo Island Resort continues to provide guests with a modern tropical island escape on one of Fiji’s stunning natural treasures.

About the Resort

Legend says that Fijians believe that Malolo Island was created by the gods as ‘the suns resting place’ because, no matter where you are in Fiji, at the end of the day you can see the sun go to rest on Malolo Island. Today, Malolo Island Resort continues to reflect this legend by offering a place of tranquil seclusion and, like the sun, a place for you to come back to and rest after a day of wandering. Over the years Malolo Island Resort has completed many renovations, upgrades and refurbishments. Now, the resort provides a relaxing ambience, happy Fijian hospitality and rustic, traditional accommodation. Disconnect from the world to reconnect with yourself and your loved ones when you check in to one of the traditional bures. The bures represent traditional Fijian homes and don’t include the day-to-day technologies you’re used to, like TV’s, telephones, radios and internet access. The lack of ‘gadgets’ in the bures make it even easier to relax and lull into the famous ‘Fiji Time’. Each of the bures feature a rustic elegance, air conditioning and day bed(s) and they are set amongst stunning tropical gardens and some are just a few steps away from the soft sands of the pristine beach!

There is an array of activities and experiences on offer at Malolo Island Resort, however there is also a never ending selection of blissful places to simply kick back and relax. So it’s entirely up to you whether you prefer to spend your holiday doing as much, or as little, as you can. Water lovers will be spoilt for choice on ways to splash through Fiji’s pristine waters and reefs. There are kayaks, Hobie cats, stand up paddle boards and more available for guests to utilise. The surrounding reef is home to an abundance of coral gardens, exotic fish species and even turtles, sting rays and sharks, so anyone could easily snorkel the day away! But if you want to dive deeper, the friendly team at the Activities Bure can book a scuba diving tour to best dive spots in Fiji, depending what you want to see. That’s not all they can do for you either. Whatever you want to see, do or experience in Fiji, whether that be a trip to a local village, an exhilarating jet ski tour or a lesson in parasailing, the Activities Bure team can arrange it for you! Those searching for a relaxing atmosphere and some well-deserved R&R won’t be disappointed either. Grab a book and relax in the air conditioned comfort of the Talei Lounge which is strictly for guest 18 years and over. For a therapeutic spa treatment, a visit to Leilani’s Spa is definitely in order. Indulge in a heavenly massage before heading to the Beach Bar for a cocktail while you overlook the sunset!

Our spacious Bure by the water was brilliant and the snorkelling 10m from our bedroom was amazing with all sorts of coral and tropical fish. The kids couldn’t wait to get to the kids club every day. The staff we’re brilliant with our kids and made it so easy for us to go on a few treasured dates! The visit to the local school is a must as is the jet ski safari out to Cloudbreak – it was brilliant.
